On Bonusing Babies
CANADIANS now are more than 90 per
cent in favour of baby bonuses, a recent Gal-
lup 'Poll indicates.
That is not 'surprising.
Most Canadians have been in favor of a
system of baby bonuses since the inception of
federa I income • taxes.
And just that long too have Canadians had
baby bonuses. The principle long has been
accepted that the more numerous a taxpay-
er's dependents, the less tax he should pay
to government
All our current federal government did
was turn an "exemption" into a "bonus." It
' looked politically much better that way.
Now each month the mother of each fam-
ily gets her cheque from Ottawa, To provide
money enough to cash that cheque each person,
by weekly or quarterly deductions, and through
increased sales taxes and higher costs of foods
and services, pays more money to Ottawa. We
are all part now of one big family working
for father at the capital and he pays out
the wages.
There is same merit in the system.
There is also much danger,
A friend of ours was listening the other
day to a Pole, who is now a Canadian mil-
lionaire, relate how he got his start in busi-
ness when he first came to this country.
He asked a bank manager for a loan of
six hundred dollars, Asked what security he
could offer, . he replied, "I have a wife and
four children."
Incidentally, ' he got the loan, but it was not
on the strength of his four children. In those
days they did not represent $240 per year in
baby bonuses. They were merely an indica-
tion of stability and a need to work hard.
We always must remember that our gov-
ernments do not make for us a single dollar.
All they do is redistribute the wealth 'we, as
individuals, create through our own labor.
Baby bonuses, unemployment insurance, old.
age pensions, and other examples of govern-
ment paternalism are made possible only
through a sacrifice of a portion of present
earnings by the people who are working In
useful jobs,
In many ways the tax exemption system
of "bonusing babies" was psychologically
sounder than the monthly cheque distribution.
It laid the stress on the need to earn before
the bonus was paid rather than on the bonus
itself.
A Brave Newfoundland Civic Effort
ALL CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES should
extend at least their good wishes to Corner
Brook, Newfoundland, in its effort to reach
-self-sustaining, self-government status, a n d
also cityhood.
If the current campaign succeeds in creat-
ing an adequate sense of civic responsibility,
Newfoundland will have its second city, and
a needed transformation of the archaic taxing muni-
cipal p x ng and administration system in New-
foundland—designed for settlement administra-
tion only -could well .follow. A striking ex-
ample of post -Confederation modernization in
Canada's tenth province is certainly on its
way in this one community. Only St. John's
now stands on its own civic feet.
Unlike the problem confronting similar
amalgamations of communities in Canada, the
Corner Brook difficulty is not financial. Once
of company-owned status, Iess than 95 homes
on the fioor of the pretty saucer -valley are
still owned by the Bowater pulp and paper
organization, and the per capita wealth spells
remarkable area prosperity. Corner Brook's
valley holds 20,000 people, and every family
seems to own a motor car.
The great problem In Corner Brook lies
in the ingrained Newfoundland habit of not
paying property taxes. Hundreds of home-
owners In the fire -and -disease -endangered hill-
side communities of Corner Brook have never
paid taxes on their homes in their lives.
Added to this, there is the fact that residents
in the company ,townsite have been favored
with abnormally lo wcharges for every mod-
ern municipal service, Both groups will need
an altered viewpoint.
Threat of fire and disease has forced the
current old-time civic campaign to engender
civic consciousness. A lawyer, a paper mill
foremen, and a mill worker and union leader,
are leading it, Another building boom has
overtaken Newfoundland's pulp -and -paper
backdoor, and the hillside neighborhoods are
without water for fire and sewage as more
and more substantial houses are erected over
the original boom -town debris of 1926, A
municipal survey has been made, and a water
and sewage estimate is now proceeding.
' The situation looks difficult, but Canadian
municipalities, suffering their own anmalgama-
tion and development headaches, will watch
with interest while Newfoundland's enterpris-
ing Corner Brook works out its destiny.
